MTXPlus+ Design Data - Schematic Files

In due course, i.e., once the relevant board has been prototyped and tested, this page will host the KiCad schematics, other project files, firmware source and object code.

The CAD files and custom firmware available on this page have been used to produce subsystems for MTXPlus⁺, a modular Z80 computer based on the design of the original Memotech MTX512. The design files available for download have been used to build the associated modules which has been tested and confirmed to work as per the design. However, there may be errors in the material available for download and your results may differ from mine. If you identify any errors in the design or firmware and/or make any modifications or enhancements to the design, please let me have a copy of the information and any changed or added files.

There is not much available at the moment, but I have made a start by releasing the system bus drawing and the power board in KiCad format.

Each of the boards is a separate KiCad project file and uses one or more custom components that I have either created myself or downloaded as part of additional KiCad component libraries. The custom components are either ones that are not included in the libraries distributed with KiCad, or have been edited to correct errors or better suit my schematic layouts. All of the additional components are included in the Dave2 library file, this file has evolved as I have made more & more use of KiCad. As a result, it is a work in progress and should really be tidied up at some point, until (if) I get round to cleaning it up, you can either use the library "as-is" or you may want to extract and/or edit the components for use in your own libraries.
